Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Hunwick
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Hunwick as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Hunwick
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Landlord and trade work in New Hunwick
For anyone letting property in or around New Hunwick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
